Name of the resource. Provided by the client when the resource is created. The name must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with RFC1035. Specifically, the name must be 1-63 characters long and match the regular expression [a-z]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])? which means the first character must be a lowercase letter, and all following characters must be a dash, lowercase letter, or digit, except the last character, which cannot be a dash.

description

string

An optional description of this resource. Provide this property when you create the resource.

Size of the persistent disk, specified in GB. You can specify this field when creating a persistent disk using the sourceImage or sourceSnapshot parameter, or specify it alone to create an empty persistent disk.

If you specify this field along with sourceImage or sourceSnapshot, the value of sizeGb must not be less than the size of the sourceImage or the size of the snapshot. Acceptable values are 1 to 65536, inclusive.

zone

string

[Output Only] URL of the zone where the disk resides. You must specify this field as part of the HTTP request URL. It is not settable as a field in the request body.

status

enum

[Output Only] The status of disk creation.

sourceSnapshot

string

The source snapshot used to create this disk. You can provide this as a partial or full URL to the resource. For example, the following are valid values:

[Output Only] The unique ID of the snapshot used to create this disk. This value identifies the exact snapshot that was used to create this persistent disk. For example, if you created the persistent disk from a snapshot that was later deleted and recreated under the same name, the source snapshot ID would identify the exact version of the snapshot that was used.

options

string

Internal use only.

selfLink

string

[Output Only] Server-defined fully-qualified URL for this resource.

sourceImage

string

The source image used to create this disk. If the source image is deleted, this field will not be set.

To create a disk with one of the public operating system images, specify the image by its family name. For example, specify family/debian-9 to use the latest Debian 9 image:

projects/debian-cloud/global/images/family/debian-9

Alternatively, use a specific version of a public operating system image:

projects/debian-cloud/global/images/debian-9-stretch-vYYYYMMDD

To create a disk with a custom image that you created, specify the image name in the following format:

global/images/my-custom-image

You can also specify a custom image by its image family, which returns the latest version of the image in that family. Replace the image name with family/family-name:

global/images/family/my-image-family

sourceImageId

string

[Output Only] The ID value of the image used to create this disk. This value identifies the exact image that was used to create this persistent disk. For example, if you created the persistent disk from an image that was later deleted and recreated under the same name, the source image ID would identify the exact version of the image that was used.

storageType

enum

[Deprecated] Storage type of the persistent disk.

type

string

URL of the disk type resource describing which disk type to use to create the disk. Provide this when creating the disk. For example: project/zones/zone/diskTypes/pd-standard or pd-ssd

A fingerprint for the labels being applied to this disk, which is essentially a hash of the labels set used for optimistic locking. The fingerprint is initially generated by Compute Engine and changes after every request to modify or update labels. You must always provide an up-to-date fingerprint hash in order to update or change labels, otherwise the request will fail with error 412 conditionNotMet.

To see the latest fingerprint, make a get() request to retrieve a disk.

A base64-encoded string.

region

string

[Output Only] URL of the region where the disk resides. Only applicable for regional resources. You must specify this field as part of the HTTP request URL. It is not settable as a field in the request body.

replicaZones[]

string

URLs of the zones where the disk should be replicated to. Only applicable for regional resources.

Physical block size of the persistent disk, in bytes. If not present in a request, a default value is used. Currently supported sizes are 4096 and 16384, other sizes may be added in the future. If an unsupported value is requested, the error message will list the supported values for the caller's project.

resourcePolicies[]

string

Resource policies applied to this disk for automatic snapshot creations.
